Wave field - North Sea - WAM ECMWF
This dataset contains the operational WAM wave forecasts for the sea state of the North Sea. The domain covers latitudes from 48.5 to 57 and longitudes from -4 to 9. The grid has a resolution of 0.1 in longitude and 0.0666 in latitude. Teh spectral analysis is provided every hour. The sea surface is forced by the hourly meteo forecasts provided by the ECMWF.
